FireWire Integration Brings Mackie Mixing to Your Favorite DAW Including Pro Tools!The Mackie Onyx 1220i features built-in FireWire and combines the benefits of a powerful computer interface with the tactile hands-on control of a premium analog mixer. The professional Onyx 1220i is great for live sound reinforcement or studio recording in an durable road-worthy package.

Channels 1 and 2 feature high impedance instrument/line level inputs so you can connect an acoustic, electric or bass guitar directly into the mixer eliminating the need for an external direct box.

Recording and Mixing
Send all channels, aux sends or the master L/R straight to your computer for recording. Pre/post EQ taps on every channel allow you to integrate our renowned Perkins EQ into the record path. Plus, returns from your DAW are assignable to the control room section or straight back into a channel for mix integration.

Powerful Effects EngineWith all aux sends routable to your DAW, Onyx-i allows you to use your favorite plug-in as a realtime effect. Just route an aux send to your DAW, apply the plug-in and assign your DAW outputs to the control room or to a channel strip for instant integration into the mix.

Live RecordingLive sound recording could not be simpler with Onyx-i. The ability to record individual channels either wet or dry allows for studio quality multi-track recordings for later editing and mixdown. Or simply record the main mix, allowing for immediate creation of CDs right at the gig. Compatible with all major DAWs, including Pro Tools, Logic, SONAR, Cubase, Ableton Live and Final Cut Pro.
